Dedan Gills: 29 Best Poetry Books of 2023
2023-11-01, 2023-10-01, 2023-09-01
Dedan Gills
I Give You the Springtime of My Blushing Heart: A Poetic Love Song
Dedan Gills (August 21, 1945–December 20, 2015) is co-author, with Belvie Rooks, of I Give You the Springtime of My Blushing Heart: A Poetic Love Song, which has been selected as one of the 29 best poetry books by Speechify for this year’s Poetry Month
Dedan described himself as a “soulutionary.” He was a poet and active member for eight years in one of the first urban intentional environmental communities in the country—the L.A. Eco-Village. Certified in Permaculture, he was a founding member of the L.A. Permaculture Guild. His poems have appeared in the International Sufi Association Journal. Born in Watts, California, Dedan was instrumental in the formation of the Black Student Alliance movement in Southern California and for a time was a member of the Black Panther Party. The demise of the Black Liberation movement was followed by years of despair while trying to find his activist footing on a different ground. He became an unrelenting advocate for human rights and Mother Earth. Dedan worked to integrate principles of permaculture design, sustainability, environmental awareness, and the greening of the inner spirit for healing and recovery. He gave tirelessly to groups of people abandoned by mainstream culture—the homeless and those suffering from addiction and incarceration. He touched many souls while actively and simultaneously addressing their physical, material, and emotional wounds. As he was known to say, “Things come and go, but the soul is eternal. When souls embrace, it is like a kiss that lasts forever!”

Tia Ballantine and Mike Edwards, Poetry at the Cobalt
2023-10-29 17:00 - 19:00 | Cobalt Gallery, 430 Main Street, Fort Bragg, CA, 95437, United States
POETRY ON THE RIVER HAS MORPHED INTO POETRY AT THE COBALT
THIS IS AN INVITATION TO ALL POETS, WRITERS, READERS, AND LOVERS OF LITERATURE, YOUNG, OLD, IN BETWEEN, KNOWN, UNKNOWN, SUBMERGED, EMERGED AND EMERGING: Rhyming, free verse, expensive or expansive verse, reverses, metered, learned, unlearned, experimental—all varieties, styles and non-styles are welcome.
The Noyo Center for Marine Science can no longer offer space for the poetry series, as the Slack Tide Cafe has now become the Noyo Center Marine Science Field Station and will be the site of research and education projects including growing red abalone, setting up seaweed tumbleweed tanks, and purple urchin ranching—a different kind of poetry! In any case, we thank the Noyo Center for providing the space for the Poetry On The River readings, as we move on to continue the poetry series at the beautiful Cobalt Gallery on Main Street in downtown Fort Bragg.
The new reading series, Poetry At The Cobalt, will be held the last Sunday of the month—however, at a later time, 5–7 pm. Our first reading at the Cobalt Gallery will be Sunday, October 29th, 5–7 PM, and will feature poets Tia Ballantine and Mike Edwards the first hour, followed by open mic readings. The featured readers read for 15 minutes or so, and the open mic poets have 5 minutes each (or more depending on how many show up). Please get this around far and wide, as we’d like to reach all over Mendocino County and beyond. Any suggestions or ideas you have, including other people to invite, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, and looking forward to seeing you Sunday, Oct. 29th, 5–7 p.m. at the Cobalt Gallery.

Felicia Rice & Theresa Whitehill: Heavy Lifting, Writers Read Ukiah
2023-10-26 19:00 - 20:30 | Grace Hudson Museum Community Room, 431 South Main Street, Ukiah, CA, 95482, United States
Previously scheduled for 2/23/23, this event had to be postponed due to the severity of the winter snowstorms in the Ukiah area at that time.
For this October event, a pop-up exhibit of the Heavy Lifting artists’ book will be on display in the Grace Hudson Museum Community Room from Thursday, October 26 through Sunday, November 5, 2023; for museum hours, see: https://www.gracehudsonmuseum.org/visit
Join Writers Read Ukiah in an event celebrating the publication of the limited-edition artists’ book, Heavy Lifting, the outcome of a collaboration between artist/printer Felicia Rice of Moving Parts Press and poet Theresa Whitehill. This is part of a series of events in a “listening tour” that will travel to six different population centers in Mendocino and Lake Counties over the spring of 2023 before moving on to other venues in northern California.
The evening will include presentation of a short experimental film, a brief talk by Felicia, a reading of poetry from the project by Theresa with an opportunity for the audience to respond to the themes and material. Theresa’s reading will be conducted in a round-robin format, alternating poems from the book with poems or brief statements from the audience.
The artists’ book will be displayed along with a prototype of the companion book that includes the full manuscript of poems and documentation of the project. 10% of sales of the companion book will go to support humanitarian aid in Mendocino County.
The limited-edition artists’ book Heavy Lifting began in 2019 with an exchange in which a poem sparked a drawing which sparked a poem which led to a book structure, then spiraled back round again. In 2020, during their early work on the project, Felicia lost her letterpress shop of over 40 years to a devastating megafire in the Santa Cruz Mountains just as the death of George Floyd trained a blazing light on the many deep-seated inequities in this country amid the global Pandemic and the threat of encroaching political totalitarianism. This project tackles these individual and public crises and has become our search for ways in which to share our experiences from the past several years in book form, performance, and dialogue, leading to thinking collaboratively about our shared future.
For more information, and for those who want to explore the themes of the project so they can choose related pieces for the open mic session, see: https://theresawhitehill.com/books-broadsides/heavy-lifting/

Seventh Cascadian Poetry Festival: Bioregional Typography
2023-10-07 13:00 - 15:00
Clearcutting of languages and cultures has been widespread in Cascadia, just like the clearcutting of forests. Even so, this remains a rich and highly varied landscape, geologically, biologically, and linguistically. Cascadian Zen: Bioregional Writings on Cascadia Here and Now is an anthology of pieces written and spoken in English, but many languages and writing systems are present in the text – mostly as placenames, personal names, references, and quotations. This will be a discussion between two poet/typographers: Theresa Whitehill (who designed the anthology) and Robert Bringhurst. It will start with some of the interesting problems that cropped up in setting volume 1 of the anthology and proceed to the wider context of polylingual typography in Cascadia in general.
The date for this talk is Saturday, October 7, 2023 1 PM; the venue will be announced and registrants will receive that information before the event. Cost will be $75.
To register, go to https://cascadiapoeticslab.org/workshops-2023-cascadia-poetry-festival/ and click the “Register for Bioregional Typography Talk” button.

Praise Be: Writing with Gratitude and Observation
How can we write with praise and from a place of hope when we’re surrounded by grief and injustice? How can we utilize creative writing as a vehicle for expressing gratitude and beauty while observing our world and honoring emotions? How can we do all of this using craft elements and literary devices so we don’t cross over into sentimentality? In this workshop, we will explore how we can nurture our writing lives even in chaotic circumstances. Related topics will include supporting each other through writing communities, self-doubt, caring for ourselves as creatives, and writerly expectations. A presentation will be offered followed by a Q&A, group discussion, and generative writing session with optional sharing.
